Age is just a number for Wolverine... Hugh Jackman (57) pulled off a brutal series of push-ups with chains!

Hugh Jackman proves once again that he doesn’t maintain his legendary superhero physique by accident. At 57, he shared a video of an intense workout in which he performs challenging deficit push-ups with massive chains as weights.

The Australian actor leaves nothing to chance and has no intention of letting age dictate his training progress. While many other Hollywood stars are enjoying the summer on yachts or at the beach, Jackman is working hard in the gym. He recently posted a video on his Instagram of an upper-body strength training session. Under the supervision of his personal trainer, Beth Lewis, he demonstrated flawless deficit push-ups, using heavy steel chains draped around his neck as resistance.

“It’s better to stay in shape than to have to work hard to get back into it later. I remind myself of that every time Beth wants another set,” wrote the actor—best known for his role as Wolverine in the popular X-Men franchise—with a touch of humor.

Fans are going wild and eagerly awaiting the mutant’s return

His Instagram post was immediately flooded with a wave of enthusiastic comments. Many fans immediately began speculating and hoping that Jackman is once again preparing for the role with adamantium claws.

“Wolverine mode activated!” wrote one fan.

“It’s unbelievable how he’s still going strong at this age,” added another admirer.

Respect from his co-star Ryan Reynolds

Jackman’s colleague Ryan Reynolds, with whom he trained hard while preparing for the movie Deadpool 3, knows all too well about Jackman’s iron discipline (not just when it comes to his diet, but also at the gym).

Reynolds recently said of Hugh:

“Hugh Jackman is an absolute beast. He’s completely dedicated to his body, so keeping up with someone who’s that disciplined is a huge challenge. But it was fun. We’ve both been looking forward to this for a whole decade.”

Alongside other stars, Jackman is proving that even as he approaches 60, it’s possible to build and maintain elite strength and muscle mass. Time will tell whether this training is a prelude to another Wolverine role or “just” the personal standard of one of Hollywood’s hardest workers.

What about you? Do you dare to include deficit push-ups with chains in your next workout?
